So, will you finally give us the Truffle Shuffle to save the site? Don’t ban me again pls.

SUPARNOVAX · 2018-01-09T04:06:43.000Z

I blame Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite.

Thanks a lot Combofiend

I guess my other main question is what will happen to EVO? I don’t think it’s the same without the SRK blessing on it.

Or are you guys planning to expand it into other gaming categories?

Khaotika · 2018-01-09T04:06:51.000Z

Still waiting on Jem for MvC3.

@MrWizard yo if you really care let inkblot or whoever the server man is know we are willing to fight for these forums. If cost was an issue he shoulda been letting people know months ago. A patreon, paid premium accounts, whatever the fuck it is people are here and there’s too many of us to go into the dark without a fight.

How wild would it be if a sister site spawned from srk the community grew and it ended up with an evo like event that eventually passes up evo.

Rod_Driguez · 2018-01-09T04:08:02.000Z

It’s been a good run. I am sad to see it happen…

…but I understand. Thanks for everything SRK.

Hatred_Edge · 2018-01-09T04:10:26.000Z

The fuck. This has been the site I frequent the most. The fuck else I am to post and talk shit? Fucking Gamefaqs? With fucking Affinity and those bastards? With their shitty polls like who is the most attractive Tekken girl.

Guys, I have the solution

https://smashboards.com/

I would rather write posts on pieces of parchment paper and sent by the flight of ravens than to venture that place.

Is the URL just going to link to a Ten symbol?

Bring back premium memberships. I bought prem to enhance my dick size back in day and would do so again in a heartbeat. Literally no one will visit srk without forums might as well delete the website too

What page were you on?

I was somewhere in the middle of page two, back in the day.

Not bad, for no ships.

Wait our names were displayed on pages?!?! I think I only ever got one ship, my post count low. Quality > quantity etc

Btw what is your original srk name? I get so confused w all the name changes and bannings

evilj:

We need someone like Mike Watson to keep the dream alive.

Damn I haven’t seen you post in years. I remember your posts about Asian issues and hoes.

I still post on here from time to time. What’s your original username? I married an Asian wife. Although Asians still get shit on in the dating scene and in Hollywood, I am happy to see my Asian brothers succeeding. Just got back from a destination wedding in Mexico where my Asian friend married a good looking white girl. My other Asian homies also started families and making good $$$ but it is still an uphill battle for Asian guys; Asian women are white supremacists who throw themselves on ugly whites dudes for free, but progress is being made

Also spoilers since it doesn’t matter anymore: rcaido is Asian

TWINBLADES · 2018-01-09T04:24:31.000Z

@MrWizard I’m about to go out and buy a McRib and firmly place my foot on it.

TragedyKhadaafi · 2018-01-09T04:26:33.000Z

gonna miss @Neesa t shirts struggling in her avatars

Weeaboo · 2018-01-09T04:28:52.000Z

I’m pretty sure we will pay the bill if you’ll allow us to but really wish you had let us know a good couple months in advance about this.

Most of us work for a living so we definitely donate money to this site.

This doesn’t need to happen, you don’t need to close the whole site. Server costs are only high if you have a shit ton of real estate but nothing in it. Trim the forum back, get rid of everything but the essentials, game forums, GD, FGD, Tech Talk, Dom 101, etc. Get rid of character specific forums, give this site a massive hair cut full on short back and sides, and costs will be more manageable. This has been the home for hundreds of people for 15 years, some people have ammassed 100,000 posts, like that’s real shit, real heart and soul and passion for this place.

Settle down. Most of that is undoubtedly shit posting.

NANI THE FUCK?!

GeoG2 · 2018-01-09T04:43:01.000Z

The announcement was more along the lines of “the forum traffic is decreasing and they’re no longer necessary cause of social media” rather than “we can’t afford to keep this shit up anymore.”

Graphic · 2018-01-09T04:43:40.000Z

This sucks, I loved coming here.
